Funny Cow is not the kind of comedy that relies on easy laughs. Directed by Adrian Shergold, the 2018 British comedy-drama follows an unnamed woman, played by Maxine Peake, as she attempts to build a career as a comedian while confronting a troubled childhood and an abusive marriage.

Stephen Graham plays Mike, the father of Funny Calf, in a story set against the tough working men’s clubs of 1970s Britain, where the protagonist has to find her place in an industry largely controlled by men.
